What is a speed sensor in a electric golf cart?

A speed sensor in an electric golf cart is a device that monitors and measures the speed of the cart. It is typically located near the motor or wheels and works by detecting the rotation of a particular component, such as the axle or wheel. The speed sensor sends signals to the controller of the golf cart, which then adjusts the power output of the motor based on the speed readings. This helps maintain a consistent and safe speed, especially when going uphill or downhill. Additionally, some speed sensors can also provide other information such as distance traveled and battery usage.
